To engage veterans in the hobby of maintaining a democracy.

NEW: Task Force Butler just released 300+ page report PROJECT HUSKY, identifying dozens of members of neo-Nazi gang "Nationalist Social Club," also known as "NSC-131." TFB connects individual members to 9 different violent hate crimes in 4 states. Visit https://t.co/stRs6XRk4h

Kai Liam Nix is the second North Carolina-based neo-Nazi who threatened my family to get locked up in under a month. (And Nix hasn't even been charged with *that,* yet). He follows weird nazi creep Thomas Vance Pollock, convicted of a felony hate crime. https://t.co/Y5jmtw4DAu

On the anniversary of D-Day, @JoeBiden shared a video that includes a veteran repping Task Force Butler wearing one of our @VetFightFascism t-shirts. Damn, I’m proud to be an American. Proud of this POTUS. Proud of those who honor US military tradition by protecting democracy.

We spent years investigating the threat of extremists in the military & vet community. We've interviewed experts, service members, Nazis and even extremists from their jail cells.

This is the most detailed exploration of the topic. Here's what we found:

Hey, ever hear about that time I infiltrated the Three Percent Security Force? No? Well @ryanjreilly did. I’m not saying you should go buy #SeditionHunters and immediately turn to page 90, but, you could do that.

1/ Yesterday I had the privilege of spending a day in rural Maine speaking with local community leaders of various types — political, non-profit, business, clergy, activists.

2/ …about steps they can take to fight against the fascist street gangs active in their neighborhoods as outlined in @TeamTFButler’s Community Response Guide. So grateful to my team and our hosts!

“If they want to be neo-Nazis and they want to do harm to vulnerable communities, we are going to use everything that's within the bounds of the law to disincentivize that behavior” -@KrisGoldsmith85

7/ TOP TIP for folks on the ground: If you see Nazis committing crimes while cops are there, don't assume the cops know the law or that they'll intervene. Don't try ask or tell the cops to act. Dial 911, report the crime immediately. Dispatch *might* get them to act.

[Kris Goldsmith @KrisGoldsmith85]

6/ Fundraising for the purpose of recruiting for a criminal street gang? Well that's a felony too. According to the Nazi fundraising site @GiveSendGo, GDL's Minadeo is the beneficiary of this campaign. Blood Tribe's Pohlhaus has also promoted it. More felonies to be charged!

[Kris Goldsmith @KrisGoldsmith85]

5/ The act of recruiting for a criminal gang is in and of itself a felony. Blood Tribe and GDL say that "over 100 vetted members" will show up. Well, Jon Eugene Minadeo and Christopher Pohlhaus are going to be eligible to catch over 100 felonies as soon as they show up.

[Kris Goldsmith @KrisGoldsmith85]

4/ The Legislative Findings and Intent of Florida's anti-gang laws make clear that the inclusion of hate groups is deliberate. GDL's ongoing criminal campaign of harassment against Florida citizens and law enforcement clearly causes them to meet the Criminal Gang definition.

[Kris Goldsmith @KrisGoldsmith85]

3/ Folks who want to hold Nazis accountable need to be familiar with their local laws. Florida has some really strong anti-gang laws, which specifically include terrorist organizations and hate groups in their definition.

🧵on how to stop Nazis when they show up for this march. As ADL's alert says, Nazi gangs Blood Tribe + Goyim Defense League have spent most of this summer organizing a big march in Florida. Both have crossed a lot of lines lately that make them vulnerable, esp in FLA.
